"The New Comrades…!!" (新しい仲間...!!, Atarashī nakama...!!) is chapter 284 of the original Naruto manga.
Summary
Tsunade refuses the Konoha Council's instructions to keep Naruto under constant surveillance. Since Akatsuki will inevitably come after him, it is important that he go on missions in order to get strong enough to face them. They agree, but only if one of Danzō's men will be added to Team 7 as protection. She allows it, but selects Yamato from ANBU as Kakashi's replacement so that he can keep an eye on Danzō's choice. Meanwhile, Sai eludes Naruto and Team 10, promising to see them later. This proves to be when the new Team 7 first meets, and he wastes no time insulting his Naruto and Sakura.
